MORE PROMOTION FOR BUCKHORN IN SAN ANTONIO, NM

Bobby Olguin (l) of San Antonio's Buckhorn Grill, pictured with Bobby Flay, of TV fame, at the cook-off a while ago at Bosque del Apache. The July issue of Sunset Magazine ran an article on the best foods to eat on Summer road trips. Guess what? Bobby's Green Chili Cheesburget is #1 in Sunset's hamburger category. Sunset said, "The best roadside burgers are big and brawny and take no prisoners. ... a patty as big as a big rig's hubcap, sizzled on the griddle, the appliqued with onions, cheese, pickles and more. But it's the finishing touch of chopped New Mexico green chiles that lifts Buckhorn into the burger pantheon. Suprising to us, the Owl Cafe's burger placed #5 in the Sunset story. While we'd not do well on a steady diet of Bobby's lucious burgers, we sure do enjoy a once-in-a-while treat at the Buckhorn. Photo courtesy of Buckhorn's website
